Consciously Choose To Surrender To God's Will



 “The enormous breakthrough is that when you honor and accept the divine image within yourself, you cannot help but see it in everybody else, too, and you know that it is just as undeserved and unmerited as it is in you. That is why you stop judging, and that is how you start loving unconditionally and without asking whether someone is worthy or not. The breakthrough occurs at once, although the realization deepens and takes on greater conviction over time.”
Richard Rohr The Naked Now

"It is good to have an end to journey toward;
but it is the journey that matters, in the end."
 - Ernest Hemingway

The Fulfillment of Free Will
Guy Finley explains that the highest act of love is to consciously choose to surrender to God's will,
not because it has been demanded of you
but because you have come to understand the necessity for it.

There is no world! This is the central thought the course attempts to teach. Not everyone is ready to accept it, and each one must go as far as he can let himself be led along the road to truth. He will return and go still farther, or perhaps step back a while and then return again. But healing is the gift of those who are prepared to learn there is no world, and can accept the lesson now. Their readiness will bring the lesson to them in some form which they can understand and recognize. ACiM Lesson 132
